PHP running properly on root, but not on subfolders

[reyjany]

Greetings,

 

I successfully (somewhat) installed Apache 2.2, PHP 5.32 and MySQL 5.1 on my local server. I added the following code to a test page:

 

 

<?php

echo "hello";

?>

 

And it works! But when I add the same code to a test page in a subfolder, it shows the following in the browser:

 

echo 'This is a test'; } mysql_close(); ?>

 

It seems that PHP will not run in any of the subfolders under htdocs. Please help!

That same code could not possibly produce that result. Post the actual code.

I would check to ensure that caching is disabled in the server such as APC, Zend, etc.

 

Also, if you are using a template system such as Smarty, it could produce odd results if not used correctly.

 

As the Admin said, the code you quoted could not produce the message that you are seeing, so it must either be coming from another script, different code, or something that has been cached somewhere from another piece of code.

It's most likely that the actual code was using a short open tag and was not being seen as php code.
